The following program changes
will be made to the Prices Received surveys: - The Prices Received
survey for sugar and the annual Livestock and Crops Survey in
Alaska, were both discontinued. - Some of the States that were

Paid surveys. The remainder of the changes are just adjustments to
the sample sizes and burden minutes.
